FULL-TIME Reading 1-2 Aston Villa

Saturday, 8 August 2015: Bournemouth 0-1 Aston Vila

Tuesday, 18 October 2016: Reading 1-2 Aston Villa

Those are Aston Villa's last two away wins. Tim Sherwood was their manager at the Vitality Stadium and, five bosses later, Steve Bruce has an away victory in only his second game in charge. Four points from two games is not a bad start.

438 days since winning at Bournemouth on the opening day of last season, is Aston Villa's wait for an away win finally over?

The clock ticks into the final minute and, after being brought down for the penalty, Jordan Ayew picks himself up to coolly score from the spot and send the visiting Villa fans behind that goal into delirium.

Hope for Barnsley?

Barnsley 0-2 Newcastle United

No, Barnsley haven't beaten Karl Darlow yet but BBC Radio Sheffield's Adam Oxley hasn't given up on the Tykes yet, pointing out that no team has scored more goals than them in the last 10 minutes of Championship games this season.

Three of those came at Molineux as Wolves collapsed. Newcastle might be more of a pushover, especially as Mo Diame has just headed narrowly wide.

GOAL: Reading 1-1 Aston Villa

Aly Cissokho concedes a penalty for the second match in a row, bringing down Garath McCleary.

Danny Williams' spot-kick is saved by Pierliugi Gollini, but Kermorgant heads in the rebound.

That's another advantage that Villa have thrown away this season!

Fantastic header. It came to him 12 yards out, and he had so much work to do. He had to get a lot on it from the edge of the area, and headed it in before the keeper was able to get back on his feet. That's good news for him, and good news for Reading.

Game on at St Andrew's

The game at St Andrew's looked like it might have been done at half-time, but it's far from over now as Jon Taylor taps home from close range.

The Millers then go close to an equaliser as Adam Legzdins denies Izzy Brown.

Meanwhile, could goals be like buses for Ipswich at Portman Road? Well, maybe. They certainly couldn't have gone closer to a second against Burton as Tom Lawrence's header is kept out by a goal-line clearance.
